Respiratory System
Apollo Prehospital’s Respiratory system is comprised of the airway management, spontaneous
breathing and ventilation features. On Apollo Nursing, various clinical signs such as breath sounds,
chest excursion and airway patency can be physically demonstrated. A series of speakers inside each
simulator can generate a range of breath and throat sounds used in diagnosing conditions. With the
manikin, learners can:
• Manage difficult airways
• Perform intubation and procedural suctioning
• Recognize and resolve right mainstem intubation
• Perform needle decompression
• Perform chest tube insertion
• Perform cricothyrotomy
• Maintain tracheostomy site
Respiratory System Controls
Apollo uses both physical and mathematical models to achieve an extremely accurate simulation of
respiration. Apollo’s chest rises and falls, mimicking inspiration and expiration. Apollo Prehospital’s
lungs also react realistically to intubation as well as to pathophysiologic states.
